MAPS

Basic

• Adjusted normal spawn logic to allow further legitimate spawns below sure situations.
• Adjusted spawn logic throughout a number of maps with the aim of lowering a excessive frequency of spawn flipping.

Our longstanding definition of a “unhealthy spawn” is any time a participant offers or receives harm inside 3 seconds of spawning. That is the cornerstone of constructing the spawn system and doesn’t change no matter map dimension or recreation mode. We use this metric (amongst others) to trace unhealthy spawn charges for Black Ops 6, which means that when you dealt or acquired harm inside 3 seconds in Weekend 1 of the Beta, we noticed it.

For example, our Core Moshpit entry with the very best unhealthy spawn fee in Week 1 was Domination on Skyline with a 4.2% fee, which suggests 4.2 out of each 100 spawns noticed somebody give or obtain harm inside that 3 second window. Whereas we’re typically proud of our averages, we all know that a median additionally consists of worst instances, and we’ll proceed to evaluate all through the lifetime of this recreation.

We additionally acknowledge that we every have our personal definition of what a very good spawn or a foul spawn is, and that’s not at all times nearly fight conditions. For instance, did I spawn out too far on Hardpoint? Or why am I spawning on the identical facet of the map because the enemy staff? The overarching spawn system and the location of spawns in a map are essential to the circulation of the match. It’s our aim with Black Ops 6, because it has been with each prior Black Ops recreation, to have a predictable spawn system that leads to head-on engagements together with your opponents whereas offering ample time from respawn for determination making. This consists of accounting for time earlier than entering into an engagement earlier than you’re prepared for it.

For Weekend 2 of our Open Beta, we’ve adjusted normal spawn logic and have focused a number of maps with further tuning adjustments with the aim of enhancing predictability and time to engagement. We all know we now have some work to do and can proceed to course of our knowledge, consider your suggestions, and play the sport with you all to attract our personal conclusions on the right way to proceed making constructive progress.
